Product Designer with a deep background in creating user-centered experiences at frog design, Yahoo!, and Oracle. For the last 2-3 years, I have been actively exploring AI product design through the design and implementation of conversational AI systems, recommendation engines, and GenAI-powered workflows within a live publishing platform serving hundreds of annual contributors.
Built a mood-based poetry discovery system using semantic analysis, integrated GenAI tools to optimize editorial workflows (achieving a 30% cycle time reduction), and applied prompt engineering techniques to real production challenges. Formal training in prompt engineering and instructional design. Strong foundation in the complete product lifecycle from research through implementation, with 4 U.S. patents in interaction design.
Seeking roles where I can deepen my AI product design practice and can learn from experienced teams while contributing strong UX fundamentals, research skills, and hands-on experience building and measuring AI-powered products.

Why the Name Vaquita Design?
I have a rat terrier who is black and white. The pattern of his fur colors are a pretty close approximation of a Friesian cow. He is a world-traveller and has accompanied me on trips to Uruguay, where, because of his handsome looks, he earned the nickname vaquita ("little cow"). He has also grown a small pot belly in his older age, which enhances the resemblance.
Vaquita Design is named in honor of him.
Carl, el vaquita
